Wife is General Ghost Face
Chapter 64 Treat him better.
001.
There was a lot of excitement in the mountains, everyone talked one by one, until the sky was completely dark, and then everyone remembered that they hadn't had dinner yet.
After rubbing his hungry stomach, Xu Jun entered the kitchen.Because the number of people suddenly more than doubled, there was more dinner to do, and one person couldn't handle it, so Xu Jun called the rest of the people into the kitchen.
Xu Jun was in charge of the cook, and the others were helping the underlings choose and wash the vegetables, while Chu Yiling was called to the door to kill the fish.
Mrs. Xu originally planned to help, but Mr. Xu refused.
After resting outside the door for a while, Mrs. Xu took the rest of the people who were sitting idle, and helped to choose a few thatched huts nearby that looked relatively clean, and started cleaning inside.
After some busy work, by the time Xu Jun finished his work, the sky had already darkened.
Fortunately, they lived on the mountain, so although the sky had already darkened, the courtyard was still bright with the moonlight and stars shrouded in it.
After lighting candles again, everyone moved the table to the yard outside the door, preparing to have dinner in the yard.
A table for nine people seemed a bit crowded and there wasn't enough space, so everyone simply stopped sitting, and each picked up their dishes and went to the side to cook and eat.
For such a casual dinner, except for Jin Qi who wanted to sit next to the ghost-faced general but the ghost-faced general left, the rest of the people didn't care much.
Even Lin Xu squatted aside with a bowl in his hand, looking at the distant mountain scenery with a leisurely expression, eating with relish.
There were too many people and it was lively. Mr. Xu was very happy. He ran here for a while, stood there for a while, and the ghost-faced general followed him to pick up some food for him from time to time.
The boiled fish with pickled radish and sauerkraut at noon was once again unanimously praised by everyone. Everyone was extremely satisfied after eating, and couldn't stop chopsticks.
It was also at this time that the people who were originally on the mountain were fortunate to have caught two fish before, otherwise the pot of kimchi fish might not be enough to eat.
After eating, everyone found a place to sit down.For a while, everyone didn't speak, they just stared at the stars in the summer sky in a daze.
The mountains are quiet and comfortable, especially in the mountains at night in summer, with the starry sky shrouded in moonlight, not only the mood but also the body becomes comfortable.
Jin Qi raised his head and glanced at the stars in the sky, then turned his head to look at the person standing not far from him. After not seeing the ghost-faced general for a while, he became thinner, but mentally he looked more energetic.
It can be seen that he likes the life in this mountain very much, the smile on his mouth has not stopped tonight.
"Are you really not going back?" Jin Qi whispered, only the two of them could hear.
General Ghost Face glanced back at Jin Qi beside him, and then looked up at the sky full of stars. The night here is so beautiful, it seems that even his soul has been washed.
"Yeah." General Ghost Face said, after he finished speaking, he thought about it and then looked back at Jin Qi, "Not necessarily."
Jin Qi, who was a little disappointed because of the previous answer, looked at him, not understanding what he meant.
"Maybe I will go back to see you." General Ghost Face said.
Hearing General Ghost Face's words, Jin Qi had a shocked expression on his face, he never thought that one day he would hear such words from this person.He thought that this person and Xu Jun's escape and elopement were enough to surprise him the most, but he didn't expect that there was something that could surprise him even more.
"Actually, you stay here..." Jin Qi didn't say the following words.
From his point of view, he naturally hoped that this person would be by his side forever. No matter what, they were brothers, and the fact that they were connected by blood couldn't be replaced by outsiders.
Jin Qi sighed silently, staring at the starry sky above his head in a daze.
In fact, he calmed down soon after Ghost Face General and Xu Jun escaped, and he also understood that it was meaningless for him to search these two people with great fanfare. Even if he found someone, he would definitely not go back with him, he was just a little unwilling .
For him, there is only such a relative left in this world.
The things that happened in the palace in the early years made him afraid of family affection but also cherish it, so he didn't want General Ghost Face to leave him, but in fact he also knew that it was only a matter of time.
The Ghost-faced General stayed by his side and helped him guard the border for more than ten years, which already made him owe too much to the Ghost-faced General, so much that he couldn't even remember it, and he couldn't afford to pay it back.
He didn't want to let go, in fact, he just didn't want to...
The two people here stopped talking, and not far away, Xu Lan pulled Xu Jun to talk.
Mr. Xu has told his family members by letter that he wants to settle here. After they came, they also briefly saw the situation in the mountains here. They have no objection to the place Mr. Xu chose, but they want to settle here. , which is no small matter.
"Are you sure you'll stay here from now on?" Mrs. Xu lovingly looked at her youngest son who had moved a small bench and sat beside her lap, resting her head on her feet.
"Well, it's very good here." Xu Jun said.
Mrs. Xu touched Xu Jun's head and smiled.
Xu Lan on the side said: "Then what are you going to do next, or do you just live here first?"
When they came to see the thatched cottages all over the mountain, they couldn't help frowning. Such a place is really a bit desolate.
"I've already made a plan. After a while, I will invite people to build a house on the mountain next to the lake over there." When Xu Jun talked about this, he stood up and pointed to the direction of the lake and his family. explain.
The rest of the people craned their necks curiously, but couldn't see them.
"Tomorrow I'll take you there to have a look, it's very beautiful there."
Everyone nodded, a little curious about what kind of place Xu Jun said was beautiful.
In the early morning of the second day, after breakfast for the first time, Xu Jun led the crowd to go there in a mighty manner.
The lakeside in the morning is more beautiful and quiet than in the evening, like a mirror, reflecting the clear sky in the morning.
Everyone is satisfied with such a place, and Xu Jun is looking forward to it.
After he took everyone around the mountain briefly, he took the money Zhuge Jin gave him the next morning and went down the mountain to find someone.
On the worker's side, Mr. Xu had already asked the bandits before, and he probably knew it well. After he went down the mountain, he first went to find those bandits, and together with them, he went to the foreman over there, and explained his reason for coming.
In the evening, Xu Jun took a group of people up the mountain, and simply walked around the mountain to check the situation.
It is not an easy task to build a house in the mountains. Apart from some material troubles, the main trouble is the foundation.
After Xu Jun decided to build the house by the lake, the problem of the foundation was easier. Compared with the previous place, the foundation over there was easier to dig, but it was still a little troublesome.
After confirming the general situation with those workers and the approximate wages, those people went up the mountain to find them the next day.
A group of people walked around in the mountains, thinking about where to get materials and how to lay the foundation. In addition, they had to determine the general appearance of the house.
A group of people have been busy for several days to finish these things. Although the things look simple, they are very time-consuming.
Especially on the matter of determining the general appearance of the house, Xu Jun and others had different opinions. After arguing for several days, they finally determined a schematic diagram of the house that everyone thought was not bad.
After these basic things are determined, the time for breaking ground is agreed. This thing is also particular, and what is suitable for breaking ground and opening the market is also a lot of trouble.
After all the preparations were done and the time was up, the group of workers came to the mountain early, calculated the auspicious time, dug a few times on the ground, set off firecrackers, and made some weird things. It's groundbreaking.
After the soil has been moved, the next thing is not so urgent. The foundation can be excavated on the same day, but the rest of the materials are still not in place, so there is no rush.
After this procedure was completed, Mr. Xu followed the method taught by those bandits down the mountain, and prepared to invite the workers to have a meal to celebrate, and also meant to ask them not to slow down their work.
The group of workers came with a total of more than a dozen, not all of them, but some of the foremen. However, this group of people added the original nine people in the mountain, and the number of people suddenly became a bit large, and naturally a lot of food was prepared.
With guests, Mrs. Xu entered the kitchen to take over Xu Jun's position as the chef. Xu Jun stayed in the kitchen to help chop and prepare the vegetables.
The kitchen was bustling with activity, and outside the kitchen, a group of workers were walking around, looking at the inside of the mountain.
People from their city in the mountains don’t come here very often. At first, it’s because there are bandits here at the junction of the two countries. Later, there are no bandits here, because the place is too far away, and they still come less.
After all, no one has that free time, so they specially spent a few hours running to this mountain to wander around.
Facing the mountain, they were all a little curious, but even more curious was the identity of Xu Jun and others.
Because of the relationship between bandits and the awkward location in the past, this mountain range has always been the property of the public without an owner. Xu Jun and the others suddenly ran here to set up camp, which is a bit strange.
Moreover, this kind of place might be taken back by the people of the imperial court at some point, and the group of workers had also expressed their concerns in this regard. Seeing that Xu Jun and others did not intend to change their minds, they didn't say much.
The group of workers were walking around, and Xu Jun got out of the house in the busy kitchen. After he saw the man standing in the yard drinking tea, he took out a sickle from the side and handed it over.
"Why?" Jin Qi was puzzled.
"Go to the field and cut some onions."
"What?" Jin Qi suspected for a moment that he had heard wrong.
The group of workers wandering around in the mountains didn't know his identity and were rude to him, but Xu Jun, who knew his identity, actually dared to ask him to cut onions?
"The land is over there, go and come back quickly, waiting to be used." Xu Jun put the knife in his hand and plunged into the kitchen again.
Because there are a lot of workers here, and they have nearly ten people, so they buy a lot of vegetables, and it will take some time to cook them all at once in this hot weather.
Jin Qi looked at the teacup in his hand, then at the sickle, then at the kitchen, put down the teacup helplessly and walked towards the direction Xu Jun said.
Xu Jun and the others have been here for a month or two. Most of the vegetables grown in this mountain have begun to mature, and the green onions and garlic have grown well.
Jin Qi kept walking forward, and after walking for a long time, he saw the depression. After walking half a circle in several fields, he looked around and found what he wanted.
This piece of land was planted by Xu Jun and the others. The land is not particularly large, but there are all kinds of things. Looking at this vibrant land, Jin Qi couldn't help but think of what General Ghost Face had said to him before, I was in a trance for a while.
When he returned to the thatched cottage with the things in his hand, Xu Jun had already run over before he got close.
"Scallion... what is this?" Xu Jun, who was waiting to use the onion, looked at the garlic sprouts in his hand.
Jin Qi was silent. He was a little dazed just now, and these two things grew together again, so he made a mistake at that time.
"Don't you know Cong?" Xu Jun's face was distorted, he was not angry, but rather surprised and unbelievable.
Xu Jun knew that the person in front of him grew up in the palace, but he really didn't know that this person didn't even know what a green onion looked like.
"I know!" Jin Qi gritted his teeth.
Xu Jun looked at Jin Qi, then at the garlic sprouts in his hand, at that moment Jin Qi only felt that he was hurt.
"I'll go again!" Jin Qi gritted his teeth.
Xu Jun on the side refused, "Forget it, I'll go by myself!"
Jin Qi looked at the scythe that was taken away, and was about to say something, when he turned his head and saw Lin Xu who was looking at him beside him.
Jin Qi's scalp went numb for a moment, and he turned around and ran after Xu Jun in embarrassment. He would rather know what Cong looked like than face that person.Because Xu Jun looked at him with the eyes of a fool at most, but that person would laugh at him and poke his self-esteem into a sieve.
At that moment, Jin Qi suddenly found that compared to someone else, Xu Jun was simply too cute.
002.
After the meal was ready, everyone was called over and gathered around the table, ready to serve the meal.
Because there were so many people, Xu Jun also found two slightly higher stools, built a low table, and set up two tables.
The situation in the mountains was not good, but the workers didn't care much about the situation, and soon they went to the village to do as the Romans did, and found a place to sit down and eat with their bowls in hand.
After a lively meal and some drinks, the workers rode their horses down the mountain until the sky darkened slightly.
After breaking ground on the first day, everyone officially started construction on the second day.
Because the construction was officially started, more people came to the mountain than before. Some were digging foundations, some were looking for stone materials, and some were cutting trees and doing carpentry in the mountains.
Once the work started, the mountain became more and more busy.
In addition to helping the workers in these places or seeing what their needs are, everyone is also responsible for the lunch and dinner of a group of people, because this place is too far away from the city, if they do not take care of the meals, this group of people will have nothing to do. place to eat.
In the past, only Xu Jun and General Ghost Mian would have been too busy, but now it is better, there are a lot of people in the mountain, and one person does the same thing, but it seems not so busy.
In fact, building a house on the mountain is really not cost-effective. For a small house in a large project, the stone and wood have to be collected and polished by the workers themselves. The time and money spent on obtaining materials is already a huge amount.
After the start of construction, this point was immediately apparent. Those who dug the foundation by the lake had already laid the foundation, and the team collecting materials in the mountain was not halfway through.
The tree-cutting team is better, but the stone team is very troublesome. They have already found suitable and usable stone, but the place is a little far from here, and it is a big job to mine and carry it. project.What's more, this is still in the mountains, and there are no roads in many places.
Seeing that the project was far from being completed, those who dug the foundation had to go over to help lift the stones, which took several days.
Xu Jun was busy here, and another group of people next to him also ran up the mountain. Xu Jun didn't notice it at first, but when he found out, someone next to him came to see the foundation...
The man was brought by Zhuge Jin, and he also came to the mountains to see and repair the house.
Zhuge Jin had said earlier that he wanted to settle here, but he didn't say when he would come here. Unexpectedly, the house on Xu Jun's side has not been finished yet, but his side has already started construction.
In this regard, Xu Jun immediately became alert.
He no longer followed the workers in his own house, but started to hang around with Zhuge Jin, and he was not allowed to build the house in front of their house, to block the sun, or to build too close, a lot of requirements.
Zhuge Jin, however, seemed to want to annoy people on purpose, and took the group of people looking at the foundation around Xu Jun's house every day.
The two of them were arguing with each other, but others could see clearly, Xu Jun was very happy.
Xu Jun followed Zhuge Jin around for two days, until he was sure that Zhuge Jin's location was not far from the left of their house, and he would not get in his way no matter where he came from, then he gave up on making trouble for Zhuge Jin and turned back to find him master.
"Master, when are you coming?" Xu Jun asked expectantly.
"I'll do it later!" Chu Yiling smiled, he didn't mind starting work with Xu Jun, but he was not as rich as Zhuge Jin.
Both he and Zhuge Jin are free-spirited martial artists. To put it bluntly, they are people without family and relatives who can eat enough for one person and keep the whole family hungry.
It is also a thought for them to be able to settle down somewhere, but most people in the martial arts are not old enough to take root. In addition to the problem of money, there is also a problem of enemies.
People in Jianghu, no matter how bright and upright they are, will inevitably have one or two enemies. If they settle down but do not have the financial resources to hire a nursing home, if the news leaks, it may not be a good thing for them.
Especially in the situation of the two of them, if the news leaked out, there would probably be many people seeking revenge.It doesn't matter to seek revenge with them, but Mr. Xu is also here, so naturally he should think more about it.
Zhuge Jin is okay, although he is famous, not many people really know him, but his face is already known to everyone, so if he wants to come here, I am afraid that he will have to wait until the day he washes his hands in the golden basin incognito.
Choosing to settle down here, Zhuge Jin must be a lot more honest in the future, at least he will not dare to do things that are too prominent.For example, if there is still the matter of stealing the jade seal in the future, he will have more worries.
After hearing what Chu Yiling said, Xu Jun didn't think too much, "Then I'll leave you a place, a good place."
"Okay." Chu Yiling nodded, took the bamboo in his hand, and turned to look at the ghost-faced general beside him.
The two have gotten quite close recently, General Ghost Face is very skilled on the battlefield, and Chu Yiling is the number one swordsman, the two of them didn't have any feelings before, but now they have a bit of sympathy for each other.
Therefore, during this period of time, the two of them would find time to make gestures from time to time. Although there was no fuss from Zhuge Jin and Xu Jun, the two of them also enjoyed it.
On the side, Jin Qi was a little displeased when he heard it. This big elm is all his territory. When will it become Mr. Xu?
"Come here!" Jin Qi opened his mouth, and after waiting for a while, he remembered that he did not bring anyone with him this time.
Without taking someone with him, he couldn't give a random order like before. After looking around for a while, he started to run errands by himself, walking back and forth among a group of workers, and he also wanted to live here.
Even if he doesn't come twice a year, he still has to occupy a hole, and his younger brother has said that he misses him, so he will naturally come to see his younger brother when he has time.
Jin Qi put down his airs by himself, and asked around a group of workers.But after Xu Jun finished speaking with Chu Yiling, he went back to find his parents.
His father and mother are also coming, it was agreed a long time ago, so is his brother, when they are not working in the court, everyone will live in seclusion in the mountains.
The group of workers looked at this group of people who were desperately drilling into the mountain, and felt inexplicably funny, "What's so good about this mountain? It takes an hour or two to go down the mountain to buy something, and it's close to Daning. .”
"That's right, it's fine if you want another place, but this place is close to Daning. If the two countries go to war one day, this place will be the first to suffer."
"You live in this mountain, and the news is not well-informed. If a war breaks out one day, you will not be able to escape."
Hearing the words of the workers, everyone was taken aback.
The worries of these workers, they had never thought about it before, but now they feel that they are somewhat reasonable.
The location they are in now is the original location where the border troops were stationed. Naturally, this location is not a particularly good place. It’s okay to go forward. Xia Guo is already far away from them, but this Daning is on the other side of the mountain range. It's only a day or two in the past here.
If there is a war, this side will definitely suffer.
"No." When Jin Qi's voice sounded among a group of workers, Xu Jun and the others realized that he had stood among a group of workers at some point.
"Are you so sure?" The foreman laughed.
"This kind of thing is hard to say. Although Daning and Dayu are still friendly, who knows if the people above will declare war one day..."
"I heard that there is still a little emperor in Dalian, and the little baby is in power. It's hard to say."
"Yes……"
"If I say no, I won't." Jin Qi waved his sleeves, and he looked at everyone.
He didn't explain too much, but the firmness in his eyes made the workers stop talking.
Jin Qi looked at the border of Daning at the end of the mountain range. He had already made up his mind to make the two sides friendly for a hundred years. Even if they couldn't be friendly for a hundred years, at least this place would never become a battlefield until he died.
I don't know if it was because Jin Qi's words were too firm, or because the firmness in his eyes was irresistible, for a while, the surroundings were surrounded by a rare silence after the workers came to the mountain.
"It would be great if that's the case..."
After someone underestimated it, the mountain became busy again. Everyone no longer continued to dwell on the topic just now, but continued to be busy with the matter at hand.
Xu Jun looked at Jin Qi, and suddenly, he somewhat understood what his father meant when he said that Jin Qi was a good emperor.
Although he also saw that the reason why Jin Qi was like this was probably because of another person standing beside him, but no matter who it was because of, Jin Qi was a good emperor.
A person who knows how to feel sorry for others and how to take care of others, even if he is not a wise sage, is still a good emperor.
Xu Jun pulled the hand of the person beside him, and after General Ghost-Mask listened to him, he told him what he thought, in exchange for General Ghost-Mask's gentle chuckle.
003.
After this little episode, the mountain resumed its usual busyness. No, it became even busier after that, because there were guests coming again, a group of bandits.
Perhaps it is more accurate to say that it is a group of bandits who have reformed their ways.
Early in the morning, Xu Jun looked at the group of bandits standing in front of him, raised his brows, and the meaning of the question was self-evident.
The group of bandits looked at each other, scratching their heads and looking at others. After a long while, one person stood up and said, "We saw that you were busy, so we came up to help."
"Are you so kind?"
"Don't underestimate us, we are also..." The man said more and more quietly, until the end, even he didn't believe it.
It's not that they don't want to come to help, but they also have their own livelihood work on hand, so it's no problem to ask them to bring food or something to congratulate you, but if you want them to stop working and come here to help, then their family members what to eat
"Tell me, what exactly do you want?" Xu Jun looked at the person in front of him with a blade of grass in his mouth.
"Isn't it summer..."
"Huh?" Xu Jun didn't understand.
"It's summer, we have nothing to do..."
"Speak human words, and leave quickly if you don't say anything." Xu Jun wanted to drive people away.
"Come on, we just want to ask about the red mushrooms in this mountain."
"Red mushroom?" Hearing what this group of people said, Xu Jun immediately remembered that there was such a thing.If this group of people hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten that red mushrooms still grow in the mountains.
"There is no owner in this mountain, so we thought that while the weather is here, come here to pick some red mushrooms and sell them."
Everyone looked at Xu Jun with some embarrassment. They occupied this mountain before, so the red mushrooms belonged to them. Now that they have gone down the mountain, it is unreasonable to still occupy this mountain.
It’s not because this mountain is really his mountain as Xu Jun said, it’s just that they have been taken care of by Xu Jun. Now that Xu Jun lives on the mountain, they just want to come and say hello. good.
Xu Jun's eyeballs rolled around, and after turning around twice, he looked at the person in front of him with a smile, "This mountain is not mine, I don't care what you want."
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words.
"but!"
Everyone looked at Xu Jun who was panting.
"However, since this mountain does not belong to anyone, we can also pick it. Whoever picks something will have to rely on their own ability." Xu Jun is eager to try.
He was still thinking about how to make money, but now that this group of people mentioned it, he immediately remembered it. Now that he remembered it, he couldn't let it go.
A group of bandits who were happy at first looked at Xu Jun who was eager to try, and all of them were crying in an instant.
Xu Jun taught them the technique of picking red mushrooms, and now that they live at the bottom of the mountain, it is not easy to go up the mountain. If Xu Jun robs them again, they will probably be miserable.
However, the entanglement was entangled, and a group of bandits still did not give up.
They haven't said anything about the red mushrooms in this mountain, but they won't be able to hide it for long.
Once the news of the red mushrooms here spreads, it won't be long before many people outside will have ideas about this mountain, and they will definitely not be able to come in by then.
Everyone understood this truth, even Mr. Xu understood, so after declaring war with the bandits, both sides made their own preparations.
The group of bandits at the foot of the mountain went back early to discuss and decided to set off early the next day to come to the mountain before dawn.
Xu Jun here is pulling all the people to pick and talk, and he wants to pull everyone to grab red mushrooms.
After a night of simple training, Xu Jun stood in front of the door beating gongs and drums before dawn the next day, calling everyone up, and then led them into the mountain in a mighty manner.
Xu Jun and the others have the advantage of the terrain. He thought they would win, but when he really started to fight, he remembered that they didn't know where there were red mushrooms in this mountain. They rummaged in the mountain to find them. They set off early, but the red mushrooms they really picked up were similar to those of the bandits.
On the second and third days, Xu Jun kept thinking about finding a new place, but a group of bandits were very smart and took care not to let them find out.
In the next few days, the two sides kept fighting wits and courage. Although the atmosphere was tense, it was quite interesting. At least Lin Xu and Xu Ming had a good time.
After ten or so days of such uproar, even Lin Xu had the idea of coming to settle in this mountain.But he is a calm person after all, he does not hide his liking for Shan Li, but he is not as impulsive as Zhuge Jin.
It was another early morning before dawn, when people were running and grabbing things in the mountain, a group of people dressed as servants marched into the mountain and stopped in front of them.
This group of people came from the city. As soon as they entered the mountain, they immediately surrounded them aggressively and drove them away, telling them to leave the things in their hands and get out of here.
There is no owner of this mountain, so whoever picks it will naturally belong to him, so it is impossible for everyone to just submit obediently like this.
But that group of people were very domineering and completely unreasonable. Seeing that everyone left without putting down their things, they would immediately attack.
Seeing that the things he had just obtained were about to be snatched away, the group of bandits became anxious, "Why, we picked this thing."
"It's just that this mountain belongs to our master!" Two of the servants watched Kong Wu stand up forcefully, and walked over while pinching their fingers.
When a group of bandits saw this, all the female family members pushed back, and the men were ready to attack. They were originally from bandits, so why are they afraid that this group of people will fail?
"You'd better be honest, if you offend our master, our master will file a complaint with the people in the government office, and you will look good." The group of servants threatened.
When mentioning the government office, the faces of the bandits darkened, and they hesitated.
They managed to get rid of the identity of the bandits, settled down in the city and had a stable life, if they offended the people in the government office, what would they do in the future?
"Fuya?" Lin Xu thought to himself, "I don't remember the mountains here being sold, who is your master?"
Asked by Lin Xu, the group of people also became a little emboldened. Obviously, they didn't buy the mountain, but just colluded with the government.
"Why do you care so much? Let me tell you that from today on, this mountain belongs to our master, and everything in this mountain belongs to our master." One of the servants said, "By the way, when I came up, I saw Someone is repairing the house over there, pack up your things and leave within today, or the master will burn down."
"What's the name of the man here?" Jin Qi asked.
Seeing Jin Qi and the others, the group of servants ignored them at all, and they were about to do it as soon as they said it.
Jin Qi ignored the group of people, and looked back at the bandit next to him, "Do you know what it's called?"
A group of bandits looked at each other, and reported a name after a while, but Jin Qi thought about it for a long time and couldn't remember who it was. Of course, it is impossible for an emperor to remember all the people in charge of government offices in such remote places.
Jin Qi was puzzled, the ghost-faced general next to him had already clenched his fist towards Xu Jun, and he exerted force on his hand, causing the man to fall down in pain.
General Ghost Face moved his hands, and everyone who was already in a bad mood immediately stepped forward to beat him up.Not long after, the sound of crying and crying spread throughout the mountains and forests.
In their group, two generals, a thief, and a sword, just dozens of servants, are not enough for this group.A group of people put in even more effort and beat up the servants until their noses and eyes were swollen.
After being disturbed by this group of people, the sun came out and the time was lost, and everyone lost the mood to continue picking red mushrooms. The bandits went down the mountain early, and they returned to the mountain.
This matter was finally dealt with by Jin Qi, and he didn't say what to do. Anyway, he opened his mouth, and everyone didn't grab it.
About two days later, Jin Qi suddenly mentioned a follow-up while eating, and didn't say what he did, only that those people would not dare to come again in the future.
A few days later, Xu Jun and the others learned from the group of workers that the lord of the city had been replaced, and the people in the government office had also been replaced. In addition, several businesses in the city had also been rectified.
Hearing the news, Xu Jun, who was following a group of workers, was a little surprised. Before asking for details, Jin Qi, who was just looking at him doing nothing, threw a bag over.
Xu Jun caught it and opened it to see that it was the title deed of this mountain range.
"I'm leaving." Jin Qi said.
Xu Jun looked at Jin Qi.
The latter turned his head sideways, and looked awkwardly at the ghost-faced general who was making gestures with Chen Yiling.
The two gestured back and forth, stopping to discuss with each other from time to time, and occasionally seeing one demonstrate for the other.
One of them is a veteran general, and the other is a martial arts swordsman who has experienced hundreds of battles. Although the two have traveled in different places, they have too much in common, and the same is true in kung fu.
With something in common, the two of them naturally had more topics to talk about.
Chu Yiling and General Ghost Face were able to become such friends who were both teachers and friends, which surprised everyone, even Xu Jun was somewhat surprised.
But after being surprised, Xu Jun was happy, sincerely happy.
General Ghost Face is too lonely, his childhood experience coupled with his status as a general made him have no friends except Jin Qi since he was a child.
Although this didn't seem to have any effect on him, those who are familiar with him know that he also envied Xu Jun when he was surrounded by a group of friends and relatives.
Although Xu Jun wanted to be close to him, he was not a friend.Only Chu Yiling is a friend who shares common interests with him and is also a teacher and a friend.
"Be nice to him." Jin Qi said.
Xu Jun was surprised, he opened his mouth slightly and thought for a while but didn't answer, Jin Qi might not want his answer.
Xu Jun didn't answer, Jin Qi really didn't care.He didn't even look back, just kept looking at the people in the distance quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, Jin Qi said again: "I'm just such a younger brother, if you dare to bully him, if you let me hear you bullying him, I will definitely not let you go..."
Xu Jun listened quietly.
Jin Qi turned his head and glanced at Xu Jun, who was standing beside him, with rare tenderness in his eyes.
In fact, Jin Qi realized very early on that he didn't dislike Xu Jun. If he really wanted to say, what he didn't like was probably that Xu Jun snatched his younger brother away.He also told General Ghost Face not to listen to him, told him not to be a general, asked him to run away from home with him, and kept him so far away that it was difficult to meet him.
What he didn't like even more was that the little baby he brought out from the cold palace was not only getting farther and farther away from him, but also learned to treat Xu Jun kindly, learned to be gentle with Xu Jun, learned to smile at others, and became more and more beautiful. Becoming more and more like a normal person.
All these changes are not because of him, but because of others, because of a kid like Xu Jun who suddenly appeared.
Jin Qi admitted that he was jealous, and he was madly jealous.
There was a lot of excitement in the mountains, everyone talked one by one, until the sky was completely dark, and then everyone remembered that they hadn't had dinner yet.
After rubbing his hungry stomach, Xu Jun entered the kitchen.Because the number of people suddenly more than doubled, there was more dinner to do, and one person couldn't handle it, so Xu Jun called the rest of the people into the kitchen.
Xu Jun was in charge of the cook, and the others were helping the underlings choose and wash the vegetables, while Chu Yiling was called to the door to kill the fish.
Mrs. Xu originally planned to help, but Mr. Xu refused.
After resting outside the door for a while, Mrs. Xu took the rest of the people who were sitting idle, and helped to choose a few thatched huts nearby that looked relatively clean, and started cleaning inside.
After some busy work, by the time Xu Jun finished his work, the sky had already darkened.
Fortunately, they lived on the mountain, so although the sky had already darkened, the courtyard was still bright with the moonlight and stars shrouded in it.
After lighting candles again, everyone moved the table to the yard outside the door, preparing to have dinner in the yard.
A table for nine people seemed a bit crowded and there wasn't enough space, so everyone simply stopped sitting, and each picked up their dishes and went to the side to cook and eat.
For such a casual dinner, except for Jin Qi who wanted to sit next to the ghost-faced general but the ghost-faced general left, the rest of the people didn't care much.
Even Lin Xu squatted aside with a bowl in his hand, looking at the distant mountain scenery with a leisurely expression, eating with relish.
There were too many people and it was lively. Mr. Xu was very happy. He ran here for a while, stood there for a while, and the ghost-faced general followed him to pick up some food for him from time to time.
The boiled fish with pickled radish and sauerkraut at noon was once again unanimously praised by everyone. Everyone was extremely satisfied after eating, and couldn't stop chopsticks.
It was also at this time that the people who were originally on the mountain were fortunate to have caught two fish before, otherwise the pot of kimchi fish might not be enough to eat.
After eating, everyone found a place to sit down.For a while, everyone didn't speak, they just stared at the stars in the summer sky in a daze.
The mountains are quiet and comfortable, especially in the mountains at night in summer, with the starry sky shrouded in moonlight, not only the mood but also the body becomes comfortable.
Jin Qi raised his head and glanced at the stars in the sky, then turned his head to look at the person standing not far from him. After not seeing the ghost-faced general for a while, he became thinner, but mentally he looked more energetic.
It can be seen that he likes the life in this mountain very much, the smile on his mouth has not stopped tonight.
"Are you really not going back?" Jin Qi whispered, only the two of them could hear.
General Ghost Face glanced back at Jin Qi beside him, and then looked up at the sky full of stars. The night here is so beautiful, it seems that even his soul has been washed.
"Yeah." General Ghost Face said, after he finished speaking, he thought about it and then looked back at Jin Qi, "Not necessarily."
Jin Qi, who was a little disappointed because of the previous answer, looked at him, not understanding what he meant.
"Maybe I will go back to see you." General Ghost Face said.
Hearing General Ghost Face's words, Jin Qi had a shocked expression on his face, he never thought that one day he would hear such words from this person.He thought that this person and Xu Jun's escape and elopement were enough to surprise him the most, but he didn't expect that there was something that could surprise him even more.
"Actually, you stay here..." Jin Qi didn't say the following words.
From his point of view, he naturally hoped that this person would be by his side forever. No matter what, they were brothers, and the fact that they were connected by blood couldn't be replaced by outsiders.
Jin Qi sighed silently, staring at the starry sky above his head in a daze.
In fact, he calmed down soon after Ghost Face General and Xu Jun escaped, and he also understood that it was meaningless for him to search these two people with great fanfare. Even if he found someone, he would definitely not go back with him, he was just a little unwilling .
For him, there is only such a relative left in this world.
The things that happened in the palace in the early years made him afraid of family affection but also cherish it, so he didn't want General Ghost Face to leave him, but in fact he also knew that it was only a matter of time.
The Ghost-faced General stayed by his side and helped him guard the border for more than ten years, which already made him owe too much to the Ghost-faced General, so much that he couldn't even remember it, and he couldn't afford to pay it back.
He didn't want to let go, in fact, he just didn't want to...
The two people here stopped talking, and not far away, Xu Lan pulled Xu Jun to talk.
Mr. Xu has told his family members by letter that he wants to settle here. After they came, they also briefly saw the situation in the mountains here. They have no objection to the place Mr. Xu chose, but they want to settle here. , which is no small matter.
"Are you sure you'll stay here from now on?" Mrs. Xu lovingly looked at her youngest son who had moved a small bench and sat beside her lap, resting her head on her feet.
"Well, it's very good here." Xu Jun said.
Mrs. Xu touched Xu Jun's head and smiled.
Xu Lan on the side said: "Then what are you going to do next, or do you just live here first?"
When they came to see the thatched cottages all over the mountain, they couldn't help frowning. Such a place is really a bit desolate.
"I've already made a plan. After a while, I will invite people to build a house on the mountain next to the lake over there." When Xu Jun talked about this, he stood up and pointed to the direction of the lake and his family. explain.
The rest of the people craned their necks curiously, but couldn't see them.
"Tomorrow I'll take you there to have a look, it's very beautiful there."
Everyone nodded, a little curious about what kind of place Xu Jun said was beautiful.
In the early morning of the second day, after breakfast for the first time, Xu Jun led the crowd to go there in a mighty manner.
The lakeside in the morning is more beautiful and quiet than in the evening, like a mirror, reflecting the clear sky in the morning.
Everyone is satisfied with such a place, and Xu Jun is looking forward to it.
After he took everyone around the mountain briefly, he took the money Zhuge Jin gave him the next morning and went down the mountain to find someone.
On the worker's side, Mr. Xu had already asked the bandits before, and he probably knew it well. After he went down the mountain, he first went to find those bandits, and together with them, he went to the foreman over there, and explained his reason for coming.
In the evening, Xu Jun took a group of people up the mountain, and simply walked around the mountain to check the situation.
It is not an easy task to build a house in the mountains. Apart from some material troubles, the main trouble is the foundation.
After Xu Jun decided to build the house by the lake, the problem of the foundation was easier. Compared with the previous place, the foundation over there was easier to dig, but it was still a little troublesome.
After confirming the general situation with those workers and the approximate wages, those people went up the mountain to find them the next day.
A group of people walked around in the mountains, thinking about where to get materials and how to lay the foundation. In addition, they had to determine the general appearance of the house.
A group of people have been busy for several days to finish these things. Although the things look simple, they are very time-consuming.
Especially on the matter of determining the general appearance of the house, Xu Jun and others had different opinions. After arguing for several days, they finally determined a schematic diagram of the house that everyone thought was not bad.
After these basic things are determined, the time for breaking ground is agreed. This thing is also particular, and what is suitable for breaking ground and opening the market is also a lot of trouble.
After all the preparations were done and the time was up, the group of workers came to the mountain early, calculated the auspicious time, dug a few times on the ground, set off firecrackers, and made some weird things. It's groundbreaking.
After the soil has been moved, the next thing is not so urgent. The foundation can be excavated on the same day, but the rest of the materials are still not in place, so there is no rush.
After this procedure was completed, Mr. Xu followed the method taught by those bandits down the mountain, and prepared to invite the workers to have a meal to celebrate, and also meant to ask them not to slow down their work.
The group of workers came with a total of more than a dozen, not all of them, but some of the foremen. However, this group of people added the original nine people in the mountain, and the number of people suddenly became a bit large, and naturally a lot of food was prepared.
With guests, Mrs. Xu entered the kitchen to take over Xu Jun's position as the chef. Xu Jun stayed in the kitchen to help chop and prepare the vegetables.
The kitchen was bustling with activity, and outside the kitchen, a group of workers were walking around, looking at the inside of the mountain.
People from their city in the mountains don’t come here very often. At first, it’s because there are bandits here at the junction of the two countries. Later, there are no bandits here, because the place is too far away, and they still come less.
After all, no one has that free time, so they specially spent a few hours running to this mountain to wander around.
Facing the mountain, they were all a little curious, but even more curious was the identity of Xu Jun and others.
Because of the relationship between bandits and the awkward location in the past, this mountain range has always been the property of the public without an owner. Xu Jun and the others suddenly ran here to set up camp, which is a bit strange.
Moreover, this kind of place might be taken back by the people of the imperial court at some point, and the group of workers had also expressed their concerns in this regard. Seeing that Xu Jun and others did not intend to change their minds, they didn't say much.
The group of workers were walking around, and Xu Jun got out of the house in the busy kitchen. After he saw the man standing in the yard drinking tea, he took out a sickle from the side and handed it over.
"Why?" Jin Qi was puzzled.
"Go to the field and cut some onions."
"What?" Jin Qi suspected for a moment that he had heard wrong.
The group of workers wandering around in the mountains didn't know his identity and were rude to him, but Xu Jun, who knew his identity, actually dared to ask him to cut onions?
"The land is over there, go and come back quickly, waiting to be used." Xu Jun put the knife in his hand and plunged into the kitchen again.
Because there are a lot of workers here, and they have nearly ten people, so they buy a lot of vegetables, and it will take some time to cook them all at once in this hot weather.
Jin Qi looked at the teacup in his hand, then at the sickle, then at the kitchen, put down the teacup helplessly and walked towards the direction Xu Jun said.
Xu Jun and the others have been here for a month or two. Most of the vegetables grown in this mountain have begun to mature, and the green onions and garlic have grown well.
Jin Qi kept walking forward, and after walking for a long time, he saw the depression. After walking half a circle in several fields, he looked around and found what he wanted.
This piece of land was planted by Xu Jun and the others. The land is not particularly large, but there are all kinds of things. Looking at this vibrant land, Jin Qi couldn't help but think of what General Ghost Face had said to him before, I was in a trance for a while.
When he returned to the thatched cottage with the things in his hand, Xu Jun had already run over before he got close.
"Scallion... what is this?" Xu Jun, who was waiting to use the onion, looked at the garlic sprouts in his hand.
Jin Qi was silent. He was a little dazed just now, and these two things grew together again, so he made a mistake at that time.
"Don't you know Cong?" Xu Jun's face was distorted, he was not angry, but rather surprised and unbelievable.
Xu Jun knew that the person in front of him grew up in the palace, but he really didn't know that this person didn't even know what a green onion looked like.
"I know!" Jin Qi gritted his teeth.
Xu Jun looked at Jin Qi, then at the garlic sprouts in his hand, at that moment Jin Qi only felt that he was hurt.
"I'll go again!" Jin Qi gritted his teeth.
Xu Jun on the side refused, "Forget it, I'll go by myself!"
Jin Qi looked at the scythe that was taken away, and was about to say something, when he turned his head and saw Lin Xu who was looking at him beside him.
Jin Qi's scalp went numb for a moment, and he turned around and ran after Xu Jun in embarrassment. He would rather know what Cong looked like than face that person.Because Xu Jun looked at him with the eyes of a fool at most, but that person would laugh at him and poke his self-esteem into a sieve.
At that moment, Jin Qi suddenly found that compared to someone else, Xu Jun was simply too cute.
002.
After the meal was ready, everyone was called over and gathered around the table, ready to serve the meal.
Because there were so many people, Xu Jun also found two slightly higher stools, built a low table, and set up two tables.
The situation in the mountains was not good, but the workers didn't care much about the situation, and soon they went to the village to do as the Romans did, and found a place to sit down and eat with their bowls in hand.
After a lively meal and some drinks, the workers rode their horses down the mountain until the sky darkened slightly.
After breaking ground on the first day, everyone officially started construction on the second day.
Because the construction was officially started, more people came to the mountain than before. Some were digging foundations, some were looking for stone materials, and some were cutting trees and doing carpentry in the mountains.
Once the work started, the mountain became more and more busy.
In addition to helping the workers in these places or seeing what their needs are, everyone is also responsible for the lunch and dinner of a group of people, because this place is too far away from the city, if they do not take care of the meals, this group of people will have nothing to do. place to eat.
In the past, only Xu Jun and General Ghost Mian would have been too busy, but now it is better, there are a lot of people in the mountain, and one person does the same thing, but it seems not so busy.
In fact, building a house on the mountain is really not cost-effective. For a small house in a large project, the stone and wood have to be collected and polished by the workers themselves. The time and money spent on obtaining materials is already a huge amount.
After the start of construction, this point was immediately apparent. Those who dug the foundation by the lake had already laid the foundation, and the team collecting materials in the mountain was not halfway through.
The tree-cutting team is better, but the stone team is very troublesome. They have already found suitable and usable stone, but the place is a little far from here, and it is a big job to mine and carry it. project.What's more, this is still in the mountains, and there are no roads in many places.
Seeing that the project was far from being completed, those who dug the foundation had to go over to help lift the stones, which took several days.
Xu Jun was busy here, and another group of people next to him also ran up the mountain. Xu Jun didn't notice it at first, but when he found out, someone next to him came to see the foundation...
The man was brought by Zhuge Jin, and he also came to the mountains to see and repair the house.
Zhuge Jin had said earlier that he wanted to settle here, but he didn't say when he would come here. Unexpectedly, the house on Xu Jun's side has not been finished yet, but his side has already started construction.
In this regard, Xu Jun immediately became alert.
He no longer followed the workers in his own house, but started to hang around with Zhuge Jin, and he was not allowed to build the house in front of their house, to block the sun, or to build too close, a lot of requirements.
Zhuge Jin, however, seemed to want to annoy people on purpose, and took the group of people looking at the foundation around Xu Jun's house every day.
The two of them were arguing with each other, but others could see clearly, Xu Jun was very happy.
Xu Jun followed Zhuge Jin around for two days, until he was sure that Zhuge Jin's location was not far from the left of their house, and he would not get in his way no matter where he came from, then he gave up on making trouble for Zhuge Jin and turned back to find him master.
"Master, when are you coming?" Xu Jun asked expectantly.
"I'll do it later!" Chu Yiling smiled, he didn't mind starting work with Xu Jun, but he was not as rich as Zhuge Jin.
Both he and Zhuge Jin are free-spirited martial artists. To put it bluntly, they are people without family and relatives who can eat enough for one person and keep the whole family hungry.
It is also a thought for them to be able to settle down somewhere, but most people in the martial arts are not old enough to take root. In addition to the problem of money, there is also a problem of enemies.
People in Jianghu, no matter how bright and upright they are, will inevitably have one or two enemies. If they settle down but do not have the financial resources to hire a nursing home, if the news leaks, it may not be a good thing for them.
Especially in the situation of the two of them, if the news leaked out, there would probably be many people seeking revenge.It doesn't matter to seek revenge with them, but Mr. Xu is also here, so naturally he should think more about it.
Zhuge Jin is okay, although he is famous, not many people really know him, but his face is already known to everyone, so if he wants to come here, I am afraid that he will have to wait until the day he washes his hands in the golden basin incognito.
Choosing to settle down here, Zhuge Jin must be a lot more honest in the future, at least he will not dare to do things that are too prominent.For example, if there is still the matter of stealing the jade seal in the future, he will have more worries.
After hearing what Chu Yiling said, Xu Jun didn't think too much, "Then I'll leave you a place, a good place."
"Okay." Chu Yiling nodded, took the bamboo in his hand, and turned to look at the ghost-faced general beside him.
The two have gotten quite close recently, General Ghost Face is very skilled on the battlefield, and Chu Yiling is the number one swordsman, the two of them didn't have any feelings before, but now they have a bit of sympathy for each other.
Therefore, during this period of time, the two of them would find time to make gestures from time to time. Although there was no fuss from Zhuge Jin and Xu Jun, the two of them also enjoyed it.
On the side, Jin Qi was a little displeased when he heard it. This big elm is all his territory. When will it become Mr. Xu?
"Come here!" Jin Qi opened his mouth, and after waiting for a while, he remembered that he did not bring anyone with him this time.
Without taking someone with him, he couldn't give a random order like before. After looking around for a while, he started to run errands by himself, walking back and forth among a group of workers, and he also wanted to live here.
Even if he doesn't come twice a year, he still has to occupy a hole, and his younger brother has said that he misses him, so he will naturally come to see his younger brother when he has time.
Jin Qi put down his airs by himself, and asked around a group of workers.But after Xu Jun finished speaking with Chu Yiling, he went back to find his parents.
His father and mother are also coming, it was agreed a long time ago, so is his brother, when they are not working in the court, everyone will live in seclusion in the mountains.
The group of workers looked at this group of people who were desperately drilling into the mountain, and felt inexplicably funny, "What's so good about this mountain? It takes an hour or two to go down the mountain to buy something, and it's close to Daning. .”
"That's right, it's fine if you want another place, but this place is close to Daning. If the two countries go to war one day, this place will be the first to suffer."
"You live in this mountain, and the news is not well-informed. If a war breaks out one day, you will not be able to escape."
Hearing the words of the workers, everyone was taken aback.
The worries of these workers, they had never thought about it before, but now they feel that they are somewhat reasonable.
The location they are in now is the original location where the border troops were stationed. Naturally, this location is not a particularly good place. It’s okay to go forward. Xia Guo is already far away from them, but this Daning is on the other side of the mountain range. It's only a day or two in the past here.
If there is a war, this side will definitely suffer.
"No." When Jin Qi's voice sounded among a group of workers, Xu Jun and the others realized that he had stood among a group of workers at some point.
"Are you so sure?" The foreman laughed.
"This kind of thing is hard to say. Although Daning and Dayu are still friendly, who knows if the people above will declare war one day..."
"I heard that there is still a little emperor in Dalian, and the little baby is in power. It's hard to say."
"Yes……"
"If I say no, I won't." Jin Qi waved his sleeves, and he looked at everyone.
He didn't explain too much, but the firmness in his eyes made the workers stop talking.
Jin Qi looked at the border of Daning at the end of the mountain range. He had already made up his mind to make the two sides friendly for a hundred years. Even if they couldn't be friendly for a hundred years, at least this place would never become a battlefield until he died.
I don't know if it was because Jin Qi's words were too firm, or because the firmness in his eyes was irresistible, for a while, the surroundings were surrounded by a rare silence after the workers came to the mountain.
"It would be great if that's the case..."
After someone underestimated it, the mountain became busy again. Everyone no longer continued to dwell on the topic just now, but continued to be busy with the matter at hand.
Xu Jun looked at Jin Qi, and suddenly, he somewhat understood what his father meant when he said that Jin Qi was a good emperor.
Although he also saw that the reason why Jin Qi was like this was probably because of another person standing beside him, but no matter who it was because of, Jin Qi was a good emperor.
A person who knows how to feel sorry for others and how to take care of others, even if he is not a wise sage, is still a good emperor.
Xu Jun pulled the hand of the person beside him, and after General Ghost-Mask listened to him, he told him what he thought, in exchange for General Ghost-Mask's gentle chuckle.
003.
After this little episode, the mountain resumed its usual busyness. No, it became even busier after that, because there were guests coming again, a group of bandits.
Perhaps it is more accurate to say that it is a group of bandits who have reformed their ways.
Early in the morning, Xu Jun looked at the group of bandits standing in front of him, raised his brows, and the meaning of the question was self-evident.
The group of bandits looked at each other, scratching their heads and looking at others. After a long while, one person stood up and said, "We saw that you were busy, so we came up to help."
"Are you so kind?"
"Don't underestimate us, we are also..." The man said more and more quietly, until the end, even he didn't believe it.
It's not that they don't want to come to help, but they also have their own livelihood work on hand, so it's no problem to ask them to bring food or something to congratulate you, but if you want them to stop working and come here to help, then their family members what to eat
"Tell me, what exactly do you want?" Xu Jun looked at the person in front of him with a blade of grass in his mouth.
"Isn't it summer..."
"Huh?" Xu Jun didn't understand.
"It's summer, we have nothing to do..."
"Speak human words, and leave quickly if you don't say anything." Xu Jun wanted to drive people away.
"Come on, we just want to ask about the red mushrooms in this mountain."
"Red mushroom?" Hearing what this group of people said, Xu Jun immediately remembered that there was such a thing.If this group of people hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten that red mushrooms still grow in the mountains.
"There is no owner in this mountain, so we thought that while the weather is here, come here to pick some red mushrooms and sell them."
Everyone looked at Xu Jun with some embarrassment. They occupied this mountain before, so the red mushrooms belonged to them. Now that they have gone down the mountain, it is unreasonable to still occupy this mountain.
It’s not because this mountain is really his mountain as Xu Jun said, it’s just that they have been taken care of by Xu Jun. Now that Xu Jun lives on the mountain, they just want to come and say hello. good.
Xu Jun's eyeballs rolled around, and after turning around twice, he looked at the person in front of him with a smile, "This mountain is not mine, I don't care what you want."
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words.
"but!"
Everyone looked at Xu Jun who was panting.
"However, since this mountain does not belong to anyone, we can also pick it. Whoever picks something will have to rely on their own ability." Xu Jun is eager to try.
He was still thinking about how to make money, but now that this group of people mentioned it, he immediately remembered it. Now that he remembered it, he couldn't let it go.
A group of bandits who were happy at first looked at Xu Jun who was eager to try, and all of them were crying in an instant.
Xu Jun taught them the technique of picking red mushrooms, and now that they live at the bottom of the mountain, it is not easy to go up the mountain. If Xu Jun robs them again, they will probably be miserable.
However, the entanglement was entangled, and a group of bandits still did not give up.
They haven't said anything about the red mushrooms in this mountain, but they won't be able to hide it for long.
Once the news of the red mushrooms here spreads, it won't be long before many people outside will have ideas about this mountain, and they will definitely not be able to come in by then.
Everyone understood this truth, even Mr. Xu understood, so after declaring war with the bandits, both sides made their own preparations.
The group of bandits at the foot of the mountain went back early to discuss and decided to set off early the next day to come to the mountain before dawn.
Xu Jun here is pulling all the people to pick and talk, and he wants to pull everyone to grab red mushrooms.
After a night of simple training, Xu Jun stood in front of the door beating gongs and drums before dawn the next day, calling everyone up, and then led them into the mountain in a mighty manner.
Xu Jun and the others have the advantage of the terrain. He thought they would win, but when he really started to fight, he remembered that they didn't know where there were red mushrooms in this mountain. They rummaged in the mountain to find them. They set off early, but the red mushrooms they really picked up were similar to those of the bandits.
On the second and third days, Xu Jun kept thinking about finding a new place, but a group of bandits were very smart and took care not to let them find out.
In the next few days, the two sides kept fighting wits and courage. Although the atmosphere was tense, it was quite interesting. At least Lin Xu and Xu Ming had a good time.
After ten or so days of such uproar, even Lin Xu had the idea of coming to settle in this mountain.But he is a calm person after all, he does not hide his liking for Shan Li, but he is not as impulsive as Zhuge Jin.
It was another early morning before dawn, when people were running and grabbing things in the mountain, a group of people dressed as servants marched into the mountain and stopped in front of them.
This group of people came from the city. As soon as they entered the mountain, they immediately surrounded them aggressively and drove them away, telling them to leave the things in their hands and get out of here.
There is no owner of this mountain, so whoever picks it will naturally belong to him, so it is impossible for everyone to just submit obediently like this.
But that group of people were very domineering and completely unreasonable. Seeing that everyone left without putting down their things, they would immediately attack.
Seeing that the things he had just obtained were about to be snatched away, the group of bandits became anxious, "Why, we picked this thing."
"It's just that this mountain belongs to our master!" Two of the servants watched Kong Wu stand up forcefully, and walked over while pinching their fingers.
When a group of bandits saw this, all the female family members pushed back, and the men were ready to attack. They were originally from bandits, so why are they afraid that this group of people will fail?
"You'd better be honest, if you offend our master, our master will file a complaint with the people in the government office, and you will look good." The group of servants threatened.
When mentioning the government office, the faces of the bandits darkened, and they hesitated.
They managed to get rid of the identity of the bandits, settled down in the city and had a stable life, if they offended the people in the government office, what would they do in the future?
"Fuya?" Lin Xu thought to himself, "I don't remember the mountains here being sold, who is your master?"
Asked by Lin Xu, the group of people also became a little emboldened. Obviously, they didn't buy the mountain, but just colluded with the government.
"Why do you care so much? Let me tell you that from today on, this mountain belongs to our master, and everything in this mountain belongs to our master." One of the servants said, "By the way, when I came up, I saw Someone is repairing the house over there, pack up your things and leave within today, or the master will burn down."
"What's the name of the man here?" Jin Qi asked.
Seeing Jin Qi and the others, the group of servants ignored them at all, and they were about to do it as soon as they said it.
Jin Qi ignored the group of people, and looked back at the bandit next to him, "Do you know what it's called?"
A group of bandits looked at each other, and reported a name after a while, but Jin Qi thought about it for a long time and couldn't remember who it was. Of course, it is impossible for an emperor to remember all the people in charge of government offices in such remote places.
Jin Qi was puzzled, the ghost-faced general next to him had already clenched his fist towards Xu Jun, and he exerted force on his hand, causing the man to fall down in pain.
General Ghost Face moved his hands, and everyone who was already in a bad mood immediately stepped forward to beat him up.Not long after, the sound of crying and crying spread throughout the mountains and forests.
In their group, two generals, a thief, and a sword, just dozens of servants, are not enough for this group.A group of people put in even more effort and beat up the servants until their noses and eyes were swollen.
After being disturbed by this group of people, the sun came out and the time was lost, and everyone lost the mood to continue picking red mushrooms. The bandits went down the mountain early, and they returned to the mountain.
This matter was finally dealt with by Jin Qi, and he didn't say what to do. Anyway, he opened his mouth, and everyone didn't grab it.
About two days later, Jin Qi suddenly mentioned a follow-up while eating, and didn't say what he did, only that those people would not dare to come again in the future.
A few days later, Xu Jun and the others learned from the group of workers that the lord of the city had been replaced, and the people in the government office had also been replaced. In addition, several businesses in the city had also been rectified.
Hearing the news, Xu Jun, who was following a group of workers, was a little surprised. Before asking for details, Jin Qi, who was just looking at him doing nothing, threw a bag over.
Xu Jun caught it and opened it to see that it was the title deed of this mountain range.
"I'm leaving." Jin Qi said.
Xu Jun looked at Jin Qi.
The latter turned his head sideways, and looked awkwardly at the ghost-faced general who was making gestures with Chen Yiling.
The two gestured back and forth, stopping to discuss with each other from time to time, and occasionally seeing one demonstrate for the other.
One of them is a veteran general, and the other is a martial arts swordsman who has experienced hundreds of battles. Although the two have traveled in different places, they have too much in common, and the same is true in kung fu.
With something in common, the two of them naturally had more topics to talk about.
Chu Yiling and General Ghost Face were able to become such friends who were both teachers and friends, which surprised everyone, even Xu Jun was somewhat surprised.
But after being surprised, Xu Jun was happy, sincerely happy.
General Ghost Face is too lonely, his childhood experience coupled with his status as a general made him have no friends except Jin Qi since he was a child.
Although this didn't seem to have any effect on him, those who are familiar with him know that he also envied Xu Jun when he was surrounded by a group of friends and relatives.
Although Xu Jun wanted to be close to him, he was not a friend.Only Chu Yiling is a friend who shares common interests with him and is also a teacher and a friend.
"Be nice to him." Jin Qi said.
Xu Jun was surprised, he opened his mouth slightly and thought for a while but didn't answer, Jin Qi might not want his answer.
Xu Jun didn't answer, Jin Qi really didn't care.He didn't even look back, just kept looking at the people in the distance quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, Jin Qi said again: "I'm just such a younger brother, if you dare to bully him, if you let me hear you bullying him, I will definitely not let you go..."
Xu Jun listened quietly.
Jin Qi turned his head and glanced at Xu Jun, who was standing beside him, with rare tenderness in his eyes.
In fact, Jin Qi realized very early on that he didn't dislike Xu Jun. If he really wanted to say, what he didn't like was probably that Xu Jun snatched his younger brother away.He also told General Ghost Face not to listen to him, told him not to be a general, asked him to run away from home with him, and kept him so far away that it was difficult to meet him.
What he didn't like even more was that the little baby he brought out from the cold palace was not only getting farther and farther away from him, but also learned to treat Xu Jun kindly, learned to be gentle with Xu Jun, learned to smile at others, and became more and more beautiful. Becoming more and more like a normal person.
All these changes are not because of him, but because of others, because of a kid like Xu Jun who suddenly appeared.
Jin Qi admitted that he was jealous, and he was madly jealous.
